Here is Christmas decorating, history, architecture, and interior design wrapped in one sparkling package. Some 360 gorgeous images provide a leisurely look at historic house interiors magically decorated for Christmas. Begin with the foreword by Christopher Radko, famed re-creator of vintage Christmas ornaments. Tour historic holiday homes from Filoli to Colonial Williamsburg, and look inside San Antonio's most beautiful house--the Spanish Governor's Palace. Nearby in Midland, Texas, is the ranch-style childhood home of the Bushes--two future US presidents, a first lady, and two state governors. There is something for everyone, from the modest dwelling of Canadian WWI flying ace Billy Bishop to the castle of Edsel Ford of Ford Motors fame, along with decorating styles from contemporary to period correct.
